I know its been beat to death by now but I need some help and thoughts on some wheel sizes I found.
I found a particular wheel that I might be interested in but they only offer in a couple different sizes and from the looks of it , looks like I would be running a 20x8.5+32 for the fronts and would have to run a 20x10.5+30 for the rear.
Using willtheyfit.com it appears the fronts will stick out 5.6MM more then my current set up and the rears will be 29.1MM so just over an inch which is quite a bit but I think I "might" be able to fit it.
I am not going for the stanced out look either so not sure if i would have to run a smaller tire to try and fit in the fender. Ideally I would like to run a 275 upwards of a 295 in the rear.
Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated.
there might be too much difference front to back, with that stagger, for the AWD system to handle. IIRC there can only be a 3% difference from front to back. Tire sizes may be a bit hard to get right with a 2" width difference in wheels.

i read the same & i guess my question on a car that's mainly fwd why? makes sense on rwd, besides a lot don't like her big but sticking up anyway & lower her
Yeah I did read the 3% rule to go off of, I think I can play around with the tire sizes to make them fairly even. Havent looked to far into it yet but I would imagine there is something.
As for why run a big tire in the back---well yeah a lot of power goes to the front wheels but its still going to have bigger tires on front as well. I am just limited by the only sizes they offer the wheel in. If I could get a 20x9. I would do it all 4 corners. I also like having a bigger tire in the rear just to fill out the big wheel well. Also love the way it looks from behind.
Again If the wheels were optioned in a 20x9+40 ish I would run 275 all around. But I am just trying to see if the sizes I listed will work.
Are you lowered?
I think you will be fine inside but that's a good amount of poke on the rear. I'm not lowered running 20x9.5 et35s with 272/40s all around no issues.
I'm running staggered 20x8.5F +40et and 20x10R +35et with 255/45 all around. Wanting to switch my rears to a 275 soon tho. Zero fitment or AWD system issues. And I'm lowered about 4" on Megan's.
